Pierce Phillips joins the Alaska gold rush and is trimmed clean by the operator of a shell game. He gets a job packing luggage for the Countess Courteau, and a mutual love develops. When she finally admits that she is still entangled in the bonds of matrimony, Pierce brokenheartedly returns to Dawson and gets a job as a gold weigher in a dancehall. He is framed for robbery by Count Courteau and a piqued vamp called Laura, but the countess obtains evidence to clear him. Count Courteau is killed, and Pierce is blamed unjustly for his death. The Mounties find the real killer, and Pierce is free to find happiness with the countess. (TCM)

World Premiere Restoration Screening • 1925 Silent
Embark on a gripping 1890s Yukon Klondike adventure filled with treachery, romance, and the pursuit of riches in the untamed Alaskan wilds. Filmed across the breathtaking vistas of the Pacific Northwest, this high-budget silent masterpiece was directed by two-time Oscar winner Frank Lloyd. The film has been out of the public eye for decades, and we are honored to present the world premiere of its critically acclaimed restoration.
